So if you see some kids with no one for them ( in streets, railway stations, bus stations etc) please ask them for their parents and bring them back to their home. If they don't have anybody then join them in near by orphanage. Their future is in your hands. If we ignore them, tomorrow they may become an anti social element to our society. So Please help the street children and save Indian future.

All We Need is Information

Hello all...

I know that many of the people want to help the others or poor people or children... But they think that they really need money to help them. Its not correct always. Reality is that most of the time you don't need money to help others. All you need is to provide information and your helping hand. Let me tell you about this in detail.

If you find an orphan in the streets or in a railway station or in a bus station, then you can join him in the near by orphanage. To do that all you need is to know near by orphanage. If you find old men then you can join them in old age homes which accommodate the old people for free of cost. You find one near to your location and join them in it, at least they can get food and shelter. If some one is looking for money support for education or surgery etc. then you can tell them where they can get the scholarships for their study or the inst offering the education for free of cost. In case of surgery etc. you can provide information for them about the inst.s where they make surgeries etc. for less or no money.

So people all we need is information MOST OF THE TIMES. So we can search and give the information. Its in our hands. So please don't delay. Get the information required and distribute between the people. Please know the near by NGOs or Orphanages or Old age homes etc. also know about the inst where people can their needs for low cost or for free. If you know about them please post them in comment section. I will make it available for all others. Wake up.. and Know the information and pass it on...

Please Pass This to All...

Orphans and Vulnerable Children in India

Please Spend a min... Look at this...

India is the worlds largest democracy with a population of over a billion-400 million of which are children. India is known for its multi-ethnic, multi-lingual and multi-religious background. It has 15 official languages and 36 states and union territories. There are approximately 673 million Hindus, 95 million Muslims,19 million Christians, 16 million Sikhs, 6 million Buddhists and 3 million Jainsin India. Approximately 26% of the Indian population lives below the poverty line and 72 % live in rural areas.

It is estimated that India currently has 5.1 million people living with HIV/AIDS and about 310,000 persons died of AIDS in India in 1999. UNICEF estimates that 30,000 babies are born HIV positive each year. Even thought the percentage of the Indian population infected with HIV/AIDS is 0.9%, it has the second largest number of people infected with HIV/AIDS in the world, the first being South Africa. Despite the many recorded gains in the recent past, issues such as gender inequity, poverty, illiteracy and the lack of basic infrastructure play an important role in hindering HIV/ AIDS prevention and treatment programs in India.

The impact of the AIDS crisis has not begun to fully emerge in India and AIDS related orphaning has not been documented. Yet, it is estimated that India has the largest number of AIDS orphans of any country and this number is expected to double in the next five years. Out of the 55,764 identified AIDS cases in India 2,112 are children. It is estimated that 14% of the 4.2 million HIV/AIDS cases are children below the age of 14. A study conducted by the ILO (international Labour Organization) found that children of infected parents are heavily discriminated-35% were denied basic amenities and 17% were forced to take up petty jobs to augment their income.

Child labor in India is a complex problem and is rooted in poverty. Census 1991 data suggests that there are 11.28 million working children in India. Over 85% of this child labor is in the country’s rural areas and this number has risen in the past decade. The girl child is particularly vulnerable. Even though the Indian government has passed over 9 acts prohibiting and limiting child labor, the number of children in the work force has not diminished. Conservative estimates state that around 300, 000 children in India are engaged in commercial sex.

Its shocking that Child prostitution is socially acceptable in some sections of Indian society through the practice of Devadasi. Young girls from socially disadvantaged communities are given to the 'gods' and they become a religious prostitute. Devadasi is banned by the Prohibition of Dedication Act of 1982. This system is prevalent in Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka,Tamil Nadu,Kerala, Maharashtra,Orissa, Uttar Pradesh and Assam. More than 50 % of the devadasis become prostitutes: of which nearly 40 per cent join the sex trade in urban brothels and the rest are involved in prostitution in their respective villages. According to the National Commission on Women an estimated 250,000 women have been dedicated as Devadasis in Maharashtra-Karnataka border. A study conducted in 1993 reported that 9% of the devadasis are HIV positive in Belgaum district in Karnataka. Human Rights Watch estimates that approximately 18 million children live or work on the streets of India. Majority of these children are involved in crime, prostitution, gang related violence and drug trafficking.

Eventually all patients with AIDS cases in high risk states are to be treated. A new law is being drafted under which doctors will no longer be able to refuse treatment to people with HIV and discrimination against children with HIV will also be banned . Harsher penalties for selling fake medicines or making claims about the effects of untested medicines are also likely to be included in the legislation. There are approximately 470 NGOs working with vulnerable children in India and 30 directly work with AIDS orphans.

Please Help the AIDS orphans and poor children. If you find some one Please Join them in nearby one of NGOs or in an Orphanage.

Help The Children

Hello all...Good to see you here... I am Potluri (I like to all call me so). Almost all of us are well educated and all needs. But think about a minute about the children who don't have food who don't have cloths, who don't have shelter and who don't have education.... Its really sad about them... But don't leave the matter there by expressing your grief to them.. Please do something. If they are starving then give them a meal. It costs you nothing for you but much much for them. If they don't have cloths at least give them which you don't use anymore. If they don't have shelter, there are many orphanages where you can join them and help them to study... Please don't wait for the politicians or others to do it. Because its our responsibility as a citizen to help the other citizens. Tomorrow Indian future depends on children now. So help them to let your children live in a better society. Dint let them to become thieves, criminals or beggars... please help and let them become a doctor, an engineer or a layer etc. If one out of all who read this will help them then there is a real meaning for this blog...
